Sentinel
01-15-11, 07:22 PM
Name: Sentinel
Age: 8
Race: Golem
Height: 7’
Weight: 400 lbs.
Occupation: Defender
History:
Sentinel was fashioned by the mage Adolphus to serve as guardian and protector of the mage’s home and served mindlessly as such for a number of years. As sometimes happens with golems, however, Sentinel developed a conscious self-awareness. Realizing that his created guardian had become more than a mere tool to be used, Adolphus, a kind-hearted soul, helped Sentinel to develop as much of his budding personality as he could. When he realized that Sentinel’s growing curiosity about his own nature and his place in the world, Adolphus brought Sentinel to an old adventuring friend, Mordecai, who had retired to a quiet life as a priest of the Thayne.
Sentinel lived with Mordecai for a year, learning the ways of the Thayne from the wise old priest. When neither Adolphus nor Mordecai had anything left to teach the young golem, Sentinel was gifted with a set of travelling supplies and sent off into Althanas to learn what he could on his own.
Appearance:
Sentinel is a massive, man shaped block of mud-brown clay. Sentinel has no eyes, nose, teeth, fingernails, hair, nor a neck and it is quite obvious that he is not human, despite the soft gray robes that he wears to modestly cover his massive body. Though his body is somewhat malleable, Sentinel is unable to change his physical appearance more than with the most minor of alterations.
Personality:
Sentinel is curious about the world and eager to meet people and make friends, but is shy and hesitant to come forward due to his status as a golem. Sentinel understands that he was created to be a defender and maintains that role, taking it very seriously.
Skills:
Theology – Sentinel is well versed in the religion of the Thayne, Althanas’ most recognized religion.
Weaponless Combat – Sentinel knows how to fight without any weapons, befitting his nature as defender, though mostly it consists of bashing things with his massive fists.
Abilities:
2x Strength – Sentinel is a massive creature and is thus stronger than a normal man.
Body of Clay – Sentinel’s entire body is made of thick, living clay and has no definitive anatomy which grants him 1.5x normal resistance to all forms of damage. Though he can sense when he's been wounded, he doesn't feel pain, per se. Wounds done to him slow him down like any other living creature, and enough of it will kill him.
Recombination - Since Sentinel's body is made of living clay, he can reattach limbs and mold himself back together, though this is a timely process and can only be done in a restful position.
